Roses, as a sign of undying love

Snake plant (Sanseveria) for total beginners

Dino plant, for plant aficionados

Dino plant, also called “the fossil plant” can lie dormant for years with no water. Then, suddenly, it can come to life, which is why the Dino plant is also known as “a resurrection fern”.
